DigitalCameraResource has their D300 review online:

“It’s not often that I review a camera actually lives up to the manufacturer’s hype — and the D300 does exactly that.”

Thom Hogans new predictions

Thom Hogan has updated his site with three new articles and one of it is a prediction for Nikon 2008 – as always an interesting read…

D300: camera of the year 2007

The Editors of Popular Photography & Imaging have choosen the Nikon D300 as the camera of the year 2007.

No camera both refines and redefines photography as well as the Nikon D300.”

Dynamic range versus ISO: from D100 up to D3

In a post at the Nikonians there is a comparision between all major Nikon cams: D100, D70, D50, D200, D80, D40x, D2X, D300 and D3, measured based on RAW files  Nikonians submitted. A good and easy way to compare dynamic range, e.g. from the D200 at ISO 200 the D300 is about 1.5 stops better and the D3 about 2 stops better.

John Harrington: Nikon D3 vs. Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III

John Harrington, who bought both cams at the same time, did a comparision by uprezzing the D3 files to match the 1DsIII resolution – with interesting results.

For large commercial jobs, where I am thinking I want a higher native resolution, it’ll be the Canon I reach for. For low light situations, which are all too common, it will, without a doubt, be Nikon

and

Focus instead on the noise- or lack thereof. It’s absolutely amazing. The color is smoother, and, as you’ll see in the megapixel section, it up-rezzes better.
